The daily life of a farmer through farming

Baishui's troubled things were resolved after Uncle Liu's arrival. During this period, he also heard the glorious deeds of Uncle Liu when he was young. When Uncle Liu was young, he was one of the best kung fu bricklayers in Jingchuan, and he was more familiar with everything about building and decorating houses.

At the same time, I also know that the Maju mentioned by Uncle Liu is the only son of Uncle Liu and Mrs. Mi. Mi's family had three children at that time, and only Maju was kept. In order to support them, they were named Maju. In the countryside, there is always a rumor that newborn babies are named after animals to feed them, so the pony came out like this. Now the pony has grown up and inherited his father's business, wandering around the village, helping to repair houses and renovate old houses , Earn a lot of money.

It was already three days later when Bai Shui saw Ma Ju. The tall and thin young man in front of him was about the same age as him, but he was mature and stable, and he treated people and things differently from this wild boy in the country. People can trust.

"The bricks and tiles cost a lot of money, right?" Ma Ju weighed the bricks and tiles in his hands with a feeling that he couldn't put them down.

"Well, this house needs to be repaired anyway, so it's better to use some good materials, so as not to have to repair it every now and then." Bai Shui spent all the money he had earned before on buying materials for the house repair.

He still couldn't forget the way Lu Yu reluctantly handed over the money to him as if he was holding a child, and he smiled unpreparedly when he thought of this.

Ma Ju looked at Bai Shui and smiled, his black dull eyes were a little startled, and then returned to normal, everyone said that Bai Shusheng was as handsome as a woman, and now it is really not an exaggeration.

Repairing the house is not only tiring but also time-consuming. Now the house has been repaired for nearly half a month and is finally completed. The original dilapidated thatched roof has been replaced by dark red bricks and tiles. The body of the house has also been covered with blue bricks. In the dilapidated past, the window frames are also made of newly cut red sandalwood, which is quite beautiful against the backdrop of the new window paper.

During the period, Baishui continued to order Ma Ju and Uncle Liu, and built the first kang in Jingchuan. Speaking of this kang, Baishui continued to inspire Ma Ju to build it, and he was very happy to attribute the credit to Ma Ju, Ma Ju Also because it became a heated kang, it became popular in the countryside again, and many people asked to build a heated kang in an endless stream.

After everything was settled, Bai Shui cooked a table of good dishes, and invited Uncle Liu, Ma Ju, and others as guests to express his gratitude, because Aunt Mi once emphasized that they and the Bai family were righteous friends rather than favorable friends. Fang gave up Bai Shui's desire to pay.

Bai Shui looked at Lu Yu who had been standing outside the door and refused to enter the house, and walked forward with a smile on his face, "Why didn't you enter the house? The new house doesn't look good?"

After saying this, Lu Yu shook his head like a rattle, and then heard Lu Yu argue, "I just find it incredible that I can live in such a nice house."

"What's unbelievable, there will be more unbelievable in the future, just enjoy it." Bai Shui was about to persuade Lu Yu to go into the house to sleep, when a knock on the door as quietly as a mosquito interrupted Bai Shui.

Bai Shui met Gu, but only when Lu Yu went back to Lu Er's house to pick up wood carvings. The woman who stood beside Lu Er, stopped him from cursing him, and kept wiping away her tears, was a cowardly mother and a grievance. wife.

"Mother, why are you here?" Lu Yu walked forward before Bai Shui, but did not forget to look back at Bai Shui, and asked in a pleading tone, "That's my mother, let her come in."

Lu Yu's soft question brought Bai Shui back to reality, looking at the black and thin middle-aged woman who kept looking at her with a package, Bai Shui quickly made an inviting gesture, and said, "Please come in quickly. "

"No, I'm just bringing something for Lu Yu, and I don't want to keep more." Mrs. Gu looked back at the newly renovated house inside the gate, and the brand new big house, feeling less guilty towards Lu Yu in her heart After a while, he regained some confidence when he spoke, "Lu Yu, this is the cloth I rushed out today, now that autumn is here, you should also learn how to make some thick clothes for your husband. "

Bai Shui looked at Gu's trembling and skinny arm hanging in mid-air, waiting for Lu Yu's response, and then looked at Lu Yu beside him, with a blank, expressionless face, which made Bai Shui even more distressed , hastily helped Lu Yu take the package that Gu insisted on handing over.

"I know you resent mother. You are the most sorry mother in her life. Now she is looking forward to a better life for you." Gu Shi lowered her head and sobbed, but after she raised her head, she returned to her usual calm face. There is an indescribable helplessness, this expression is exactly a kind of cowardice to compromise with fate.

Bai Shui finally knew who Lu Yu's temperament resembled. The middle-aged woman in front of her who was black and thin due to working all day, with her resigned and painful expression, and her lack of confidence in her speech, was very much like Lu Yu when she met for the first time. Fortunately, now Lu Yu has been taken care of by him so that he is no longer so helpless and cowardly.

Seeing that Lu Yu didn't make a sound, Gu turned her head and said to Bai Shui, "Young Master Bai, we Lu Yu grew up in the countryside and have no knowledge. If there is something unsatisfactory in life, please take care of it. In the future, if..."

"You don't have to worry about this. Lu Yu will never be wronged like before. I'm different from his father." Subconsciously, Bai Shui couldn't listen to Gu's words, and immediately interrupted Gu's next words, Gu Shi nodded slightly and lowered his eyes for a while.

"Then I can rest assured. In the future, if you don't understand anything in life, you can ask me or find Wenyue. After all, I am Lu Yu's mother."

Inexplicably sad, mothers all over the world are the same, that is, they prefer their children from the bottom of their hearts. Gu Shi still left. Before leaving, he never forgot to ask her to give them cloths without permission. The Lu family should not know, especially Wang Zhaodi, Baishui Looking at Lu Yu standing at the door watching Gu Shi go away.

"Since you can't bear to part with your mother, why don't you say a few more words to her?" Back in the courtyard, Bai Shui made a bowl of sugar water for Lu Yu, and sat face to face with Lu Yu at the stone table.

"I don't know what to say. The most she says to me every time is sorry, and I also know that I don't blame her for these things. On the contrary, if it wasn't for my birth, she wouldn't be so difficult to be a human being." Lu Yu understood the word awesome from childhood.

Bai Shui was silent for a long time, thinking of rhetoric, "The past is the past, from now on we only think about how to make our life better in the future." Brainstorming.

After dinner in the evening, Bai Shui saw that Lu Yu opened the package that Gu's sent. Inside was a few meters of damp blue cotton cloth with the aroma of bluegrass.

Under Lu Yu's explanation, I learned that this place has been a pastoral country where men farm and women weave since ancient times. Cotton has been grown over the years. If women are not good at weaving, they will not be worthy of marriage. They are also proficient in indigo making and dyeing cloth, just like modern Primary school compulsory education, Baishui understands it in this way.

Out of curiosity, Bai Shui opened up a neat stack of cloth, and said to Lu Yu who was still sitting on the bed, not knowing what to think about, "Can you make clothes? Lu Yu."

Lu Yu was taken aback by the question, then got up again, forced a smile but didn't speak, grabbed the dark blue cloth that Bai Shui covered his body, put it on Bai Shui's body, and muttered, hesitating and uncertain, " Not very good, but I can learn."

"Don't force me, I'm just talking for fun." Bai Shui was embarrassed when he saw Lu Yu for the first time, and in order to get rid of the embarrassment, he said, "You can ask a tailor to do it for you."

"How can this be done, I can do it." Lu Yu said decisively, "This is my job, how can I let it go to others, don't worry, you will definitely be able to wear nice clothes."

Bai Shui looked at the extremely stubborn Lu Yu, smiled wryly, and couldn't help but regret why he proposed making clothes, so that Lu Yu, who was not much to talk about, didn't talk to Bai Shui all night, and the reason was naturally that idiot Lu Yu According to Bai Shui's clothes in the past, he studied the style of the clothes.

It was not until the night when the lights were turned off and went to bed that Lu Yu lay quietly beside Baishui. The newly built earthen kang was much larger than the previous bed, and it was big enough for three people to sleep. With a certain heat, even with a soft straw mat, it was still warm. Baishui didn't sleep well, and he habitually slept on the inside as before, while Lu Yu still slept on the outside.

The night was not very quiet, someone's dog kept barking outside, and at the same time, the hooting of owls could be heard intermittently, disturbing people's dreams, and the white water lying on the kang was also not quiet.

"Bai Shui? What's the matter with you?" In the dark night, Lu Yu felt Bai Shui twisting around him, thinking that he was not feeling well, so he asked nervously, "Not feeling well?"

"No, I just felt something under my body, which made my back uncomfortable." Bai Shui felt something protruding from his back lying on the bed, and couldn't help but use his hands to search for it.

Sure enough, he found the culprit, but he couldn't see it clearly in the dark. According to Bai Shui's senses, it was a mass of rough twine, which hurt his hand, and he wondered, "What is this?"

Bai Shui doesn't understand this thing, but it doesn't mean that Lu Yu, the culprit, doesn't know. Under the moonlight, Lu Yu can clearly see that the thing wrapped around Bai Shui's slender fingers is the line ruler he used to measure clothes before. Can't help but "ah!"

"That's what I use to measure clothes. I left it on the bed. I'll help you deliver it to the table. Go to sleep." Lu Yu was about to get up.

"No, I'll throw it on the ground, you just lie down obediently."

This early autumn night is a bit cold, Baishui is afraid that Lu Yu will be frozen, thinking that it is just a rough hemp rope, and it will be good to pick it up tomorrow morning, but Baishui, who is about to pass Lu Yu to throw the hemp rope, accidentally bumps into Lu Yu who is getting up Lu Yu, the two bumped into each other face to face, a little dazed, but they were all quiet.

Bai Shui, who was about to drowsy, lost all sleepiness for a moment. He opened his eyes and looked at the roof of the house. At the moment, it turns out that Lu Yu not only looks fatter than before, but also has a lot of flesh in his cheeks. Why is his face so soft? When can he stick it again?With such thoughts in mind, Bai Shui finally fell asleep.
